November 2014 - Seriously going through a major writers block right now but I am bound and determined to finish LUTD. I apologize for the slowness. RL has kicked my butt and I'm trying to find ways of channelling my creative powers again. Even my DIY projects have taken a back seat. Thank you for your patience - I promise I WILL finish.

March 2014 - Formerly known as sushi loves whitlock, I changed my pen name because it's a little more generic. ;) I won't change my existing covers though.

I'm a native San Diegan who moved from rainy and cold Washington State to warm and sunny Texas.

I started reading the Twilight series and was hooked. Then I came across Fan Fic and was even more hooked, I especially like stories of how Bella became a stronger person when Edward left her. After reading some of these stories, I started to realize that Edward was a flawed character unlike how he was portrayed in the novels; I didn't see him as always perfect like Stephanie Meyer did. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that she created these characters I just thought there was more to it.

Ater this realization, I began to see that perhaps one of the least mentioned characters but one who has such a fascinating history is the one, the only Major Jasper Whitlock. I began to see that perhaps SM should have gotten Bella and Jasper together because they seemed to have more in common with each other than Bella and Edward or Jasper and Alice. I tend to "reside" in the Bella & Jasper world because of that. :-) Though I do have a couple stories that I've enjoyed that are BxE.

I am also a fan of Arrow and have been reading some TVD (The Vampire Diaries) fanfics. I'm totally shipping Klaroline.

When I'm not dabbling in writing, I run or DIY (I'm a major DIY junkie). I also consider myself an amateur photographer (at least, in my head, I am).

I'm also a cat mama to Floyd and Puck - my rambunctious boys who always manage to make me smile. Don't laugh, but they've got their own Facebook page too.

Where else can you find me?
